In think The Sacoolas should be at the very least held financially responsible, they should compensate the Dunn family. She was at fault there is no if and butts about that.But in the real world of spy vs spy and Diplomats and Politicians. Collateral damage by all countries is acceptable.

But she will have to live with those last moments of her decisions in her mind and the outcome for the rest of her life. One day i was out hunting birds called quail here in an open field and as we moved closer to the forest tree line.Guess what the birds flew up out of the grass and i took a shot. I didn't hit a quail but i did hit an Owl setting in a tree just watching us. I was 14 yrs old and that memory will be forever in my mind, Harry Dunn will be forever in Mrs.Sacoolas mind and the older she gets the more present it will be. My Condolences to Harry Dunn's Family. Righteousness sometimes takes years in a mortals life.

Hopefully this is the beginning of the process that will help Harry's parents come to some form of closure.

Quote:
The case of Anne Sacoolas, the US national charged over the death of motorcyclist Harry Dunn, is to be heard by a UK court, prosecutors have said.

Mr Dunn, 19, died in a crash with a car near RAF Croughton, Northamptonshire, on 27 August, 2019.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Mrs Sacoolas' case would go before magistrates next month.

Her lawyers denied reports the 44-year-old would attend via video link and said no such agreement had been made.

The CPS previously authorised a charge of causing death by dangerous driving against Mrs Sacoolas, who left the UK citing diplomatic immunity, in 2019.

It did not confirm whether the same charge would be the subject of a Westminster Magistrates' Court hearing scheduled for 18 January.

Mr Dunn's mother, Charlotte Charles, said: "My family and I are feeling very emotional and overwhelmed, having just learned the news that Mrs Sacoolas is now to face our justice system.

"It is all that we asked for following Harry's death."

The parents of Harry Dunn have reached a "resolution" in a civil claim for damages with the woman alleged to have killed him, the family's spokesman has said.

Mr Dunn, 19, died when his motorbike was hit by a car driven by US citizen Anne Sacoolas near RAF Croughton, Northamptonshire, in 2019.

She later left the country, claiming diplomatic immunity.

Dunn family spokesman Radd Seiger said the outcome was "a real milestone".

Details of the agreement reached between the parties involved in the civil case have not been disclosed.

The teenager's parents, Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn, brought the civil claim against Mrs Sacoolas in the US state of Virginia.

Actually her lawyers are denying there is any agreement and they would be stupid to agree to one. One thing that is clear is that she will not be appearing in person, only by video link, but even then why take the risk? If she is found guilty and given a jail sentence, it will be used to restart the extradition proceeedings.

She ran over a Biker and then got the hell out of the Country.
If she had hit My Wife? Fleeing the Country would NOT have saved her.
I'd have hunted her down and taken My revenge. For My Government to protect her is a betrayal.

it was an accident, tragic but still an accident. Nothing has been put forward by anyone that it was anything else but an accident.

It is unfortunate that the family is so blinded by revenge, but honestly that is their problem.

Small steps but steps in the right direction.

Doesn't sound like it to me. I'm starting to think these two people are going to keep after her until they see her either in an English prison cell or dead.

So far, I believe them when they say they simply want justice for their son. What form that justice will take is down to the courts to decide.

You would have bolted too. Especially if you thought they would take the same kind of revenge on you that you are always threatening to do to others.

I'm not an innocent in many ways. I have always stood up and took my punishment for crimes committed. So your comment is just wind.
Never claimed Diplomatic immunity to bolt from a Country and never run over someone.
And I can't recall the US Government stepping in to hide me from prosecution.
If She has secrets? Whack the Bitch and send the Body if it's that important.

Harry Dunn: Anne Sacoolas gets suspended jail term for fatal crash

A US citizen responsible for the death of teenage motorcyclist Harry Dunn has been sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for a year.

Anne Sacoolas was driving on the wrong side of the road when she hit the 19-year-old outside a US military base in Northamptonshire in 2019.

The case led to a transatlantic row between the US and UK governments.

Charlotte Charles said of the family's three-year wait for justice "we didn't back down because we have values".

Mrs Charles, Harry's mother, added that her "promise" to get justice for her son through the UK courts was "well and truly complete".

Following the crash, Sacoolas had diplomatic immunity asserted on her behalf by the US administration and left the country 19 days later. She never returned to the UK.

Sacoolas, who admitted earlier this year to causing death by careless driving, appeared at London's Old Bailey via video-link after her employer, the US government, advised her not to travel to the UK to attend in person.

Mrs Charles said the 45-year-old's failure to attend was "despicable", adding she was "absolutely disgusted" at the actions of the US.

Mrs Charles added: "Anne Sacoolas has a criminal record for the rest of her life.

"That was something she never thought she'd see, something the US government never thought they'd see.
